Post Teaser 3.10 released!
Post Teaser, Plugins, WordPress October 2nd, 2007I’m still learning my way around the WordPress Plugins directory and repos. Preparing for a release can drain the energy out of me.
What’s new in 3.10
- Post Teaser now in Greek. Many thanks to Alexander for the translation.
- Added a FAQ entry. I have had quite a few queries about why Post Teaser failed to split some/all of the post. I’d figure that need to be addressed in the FAQ.
For users that is waiting for a fix or feature enhancement, I’m sorry but none made it to this release due to me busy schedule of late. I’ll still try to get one release out by the end of the year and hopefully be able to fix some issue at that release.
So be warned. For non-Greek speaking folks, there is little point in upgrading to 3.10. In fact, there is no point upgrading even for Greek speaking folks. Just grab the translate file form the repos and follow “Is this plugin available in other languages? in the FAQ. It will work just fine with 3.9. The only reason for the version bump is due to how WordPress Plgins directory is organized (details too boring to include here).
If you want to upgrade for the sake of a higher version number, here is where you get the latest Post Teaser.

Hi, thank you for your plugin, this is good work!
But I have one problem - when I click a button “Update Options”, I get the message “Cannot load post-teaser.php.” This is bug or problem with my hosting?
Thanks.

P.S. WP version 2.1

Hi Alex,
It is not really a bug but a design limitation that I should probably fix soon. The reason you are getting this error is because you have installed post-teaser.php in a sub-directory off the wp-content/plugins/ directory. What you need to do is to move the post-teaser.php file into the plugins directory instead of a sub-directory.
That should solve your problem.

Hi Han,
thank you very much, it works!

I have another question…
Can I change Your plugin (or WP scripts) so that it does not remove link from short version (tag ) of posts in RSS Feed ? Can You help me?

ops… tag [description]
Thanks…

Hi Alex,
PostTeaser does not process feeds at all. If there is something that is removing links in your RSS feeds, it is not PostTeaser. I am not sure what would remove links from RSS feeds. Sorry, can’t help you there.

Hi Han, Happy New Year!
Can You please add an ‘exclude’ field (options page) in the future version of your plugin?
something like this: if ($id=$exclude_post_id) { plugin show full post } …
Thanks!

Hello
i just installed the post-teaser, but always when I activate it, all my right side with the widgets is disappearing down under the text. (www.vs-link.ch/blog) What can I do? Thank you very much for your help

Hi Martin,
It looks to me that Post Teaser may be incompatible with some other plugin or something you have in your theme. Can you try to disable the other plugin one by one until the problems goes away? Then let me know what is the last plugin you’ve disabled to make the sidebar appear again.
Also, please note that Post Teaser currently has an issue with WordPress 2.3.2 and I’m trying to find more time to diagnose the problem. If you want to know when I have a fix for the WordPress 2.3.2, you can subscribe to the RSS of the blog with the RSS link in the footer. The problem you are having does not seem related, so you can also try the diagnostic I’ve mention above first.
Hope that helps.

Hi Han
thanks a lot for your quick answer!
I tried out the diagnostic with the plug-ins. but there are still the same problems, also when i have only the Post Teaser Plugin activated.
And yes, i have installed the WordPress 2.3.2. When do you think there is a solution for this kind of problem? Thanks a lot for your answer! Martin
P.s. or do you know about other similar plugins? thanks

Hi Martin,
In that case, the problem may be related to your theme. Can you try with only Post Teaser turn on and change your theme to the standard default WordPress theme and see if the problem is still there?
There is a few plugin that is available in the WordPress plugin area that does the same thing as Post Teaser, however, I don’t think any of them is paragraph aware. If the paragraph aware feature is not important to you, they will work just fine. Do a search for “teaser” on http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins you should be able to find a few.
As for when can I come up with a fix, that will depend on how busy the next few weeks are going to be. I’ve just finish my projects today and hopefully I can find some time before the next wave of work comes in. Hopefully soon. If you want to wait, just subscribe to the “Entries RSS” at the footer of the blog. You’ll get notify when I post. I’ll definitely post about the new release.

Hi Han
just tried it with the WP standard default theme. It s still not working. Thanks for your link, but I think I ll wait until you post about your new release. Because Post-Teaser is a lot more user friendly than other teasers.
Thanks. Have a nice day. Martin

Hi Martin,
Thanks for the vote of confident. I’ll try my best to get the fix out soon, so hang on.

Martin,
I’ve tried setting up a WordPress 2.3.2 test blog and have tried PostTeaser on it and it seems to work fine. I could not figure out what’s the difference between your installation and mine. The only thing I can think of is there is something in your post that is causing an error in PostTeaser and stopping the sidebar from showing. Sorry, I’m at a lost as to how to find the problem.

Fan-f**ing-tastic. THANKS! Using it on www.aftenmagasinet.no - works perfectly!

Hi Gunnar,
Glad you find Post Teaser useful. However, I urge you to watch your language, even though self-censored. There are children using Post Teaser, you know.

Hi,
I’m using your plugin, nice piece of software.
I DID upload it in plugin dir (not subdir).
If I edit options, I receive “cannot load …” error,
but options are actually changed, so it is a minor annoyance, but I wonder what the reason is

Vincenzo,
The only time I’ve seen this behavior is when I move post-teaser.php to a sub-directory. There must be something different in your installation that causes this behavior. Can you give me more details? Specifically, what version of WordPress are you using? Which version of PostTeaser have you installed? What other plugin you have activated? What OS platform is your web server on?
I’ll can’t say much without those information.

This is exactly how things went:
- Wordpress 2.5 running on Linux (i can’t tell you more , because my site is hosted by a ISP, I just have ftp access)
- Uploaded correctly in plugin dir (not subdir)
- Activated plugin from Dashboard
- I wanted to hide “..expected download times…word..” etc, but I had not realized that I could have done this via Option page, so I changed the code using the built-in wordpress editor, but nothing changed
- Then I read that I could have done via Option, I did, got “cannot load…” but achieved my goal, beacause unwanted extra info disappeared

….using version 3.10
